To help support her new song "Liberated," DeJ Loaf had proposed to cover marriage license costs at New York City Hall. Her proposal came on Wednesday (June 6), immediately after the cover art for her new song debuted.

Starting at 8:30 this morning (June 8) all marriage licenses were on DeJ Loaf. As her song suggests, people can get liberated through real love, no matter race or orientation. Marriage is a way of celebrating real love, and she wants to help. As Leon Bridges says in the hook, “People get liberated!”

The announcement was met with positive feedback. Dej, who was rumored to have been a lesbian at the beginning of her rap career was very aware of what was being said. But she denied it in a tweet, writing that women “just love me,” according to VladTV. The rapper said that she just preferred to be comfortable, knowing that her clothing set off the rumors.

The 27-year-old daughter of Eric Garner, Erica, has fallen into a state of brain trauma with no chance of recovery, The New York Daily Newsreports. This comes five days after she suffered from a heart attack, leaving her in a six-day coma, according to reports.

Her mother, Esaw Snipes, told the New York Daily News that Garner remained on life support Thursday morning (Dec. 28), and family members were called to Woodhull Hospital to say their final goodbyes.

“She’s not gone, she’s brain dead,” Snipes told reporters. “Physically she is still with us.”

On Christmas Eve, Garner suffered a massive heart attack, brought on by an asthma attack, that reportedly gave her major brain damage from a lack of oxygen while in cardiac arrest. VIBE previously reported she suffered from an enlarged heart and her latest pregnancy put a strain on the vital organ. She was unaware of her condition prior to the pregnancy.

Since her father was placed in a fatal chokehold by an NYPD officer in 2014, Garner has been a staunch critic of police brutality.
